Standing between Stephanie and her dream is one hundred pounds of lovable trouble.
Standing between Stephanie and her dream is one hundred pounds of lovable trouble.
It should have been so simple for Stephanie Pink: Meet up with Agnes Wharton in a small town in California, retrieve the reclusive author's valuable new manuscript, and be promoted to a full-fledged literary agent.
But Agnes's canine companion, Sweetness, decides to make a break for it before Stephanie can claim her prize. Until Agnes has Sweetness safely back at home in Eagle Cliff, Washington, Stephanie will never set eyes on the manuscript she needs to make her dreams come true.
When Stephanie tracks the runaway mutt to a campground, she meets Rhett Hastings---a man also on the run from a different life and a costly mistake. Rhett agrees to help Stephanie search for the missing dog . . . thus launching a surprising string of adventures and misadventures.
Once Sweetness gets added to the mix, it's a recipe for love and loss, merriment and mayhem, fun and faith in the backwoods of the Pacific Northwest.

My Review
Fetching Sweetness
by Dana Mentink was an adorable read.
Just look at the face of that dog.
This book had me in tears, good tears, like the laugh out loud, deep
down belly laugh, that put me in a hilarious fit that made my husband sit up
and take notice of what I was reading.
This book is chock full of misadventures, lovable characters- both human
kind and animal kind. I enjoyed my
trailer adventure with the whole mismatched clan and cried and cheered with
them when truths were realized.
This is also a bittersweet book where each of the characters
are carrying some pretty hefty loads and they are trying each in their own way
to make things right again. From living
someone else’s dream to trying to fulfill another’s dream from the past, this
was not just a lighthearted tale but one that held a mirror up to the reader as
to what motivates us to do what we do.
Are we following our own dreams, listening to the calling of God, or
trying to correct the mistakes of our past?
I really liked how the heroine, Stephanie Pink thought,
especially her need to have books with her to read or else she would get antsy
and how said novels shaped her thought process.
Some pretty hilarious stuff there.
So if you like romance, adventure (or should I say misadventure), dogs
that can teach us a lesson, or just need a good belly laugh, I recommend this
book.
I was provided a copy through Litfuse Publicity for an
honest review and the opinions are my own.
